Patchbay woes...

I have 4 patch bays and it took me a while to use them effectively.  I use each for different logical devices (top row is synths, second row is FX, 3rd row is mixer, 4rth row is PC interface).  I don't have every channel used, but breaking it up like this just makes it easier to remember what is what.   

I denormaled all the channels because it's just a pain remembering what everything was normaled too.  Your mileage may very of course.

And I tend to tear things apart and re-hook thing up in the moment and I'm tired of it being a mess all the time. Plus I have a couple samplers, and like to route stuff through other gear so I really need a patching solution. Also I switched to just using a motu 828 as my main mixer years and years ago (has never really been a fun experience,) and now have a small mackie sub mixer to pick up some slack. I should probably have a proper mixer but don't really have the space or want one. I feel like I could make my studio space a much calmer experience if everything is hooked up proper, and the ease of re-routing.
